QQS Review: Qarib Qarib Perfect!

Qarib Qarib Singlle is the release this week and stars Irrfan Khan and a successful malyali actress Parvathy in leading roles. The movie is directed by Tanuja Chandra of 'Zakhm' and 'Dum' fame and is behind the camera after a decade.  Qarib Qarib Singlle is a breath of fresh air.

Irrfan Khan yet again proves that he is a powerhouse performer. Essaying the role of Yogi/Viyogi, his comic timings and subtle undertones of his romantic side he seals his stand in Bollywood. Parvathy plays the role of Jayshree/Jaya and makes an 'impeccable debut' into Bollywood. Her comic timing and beauty can leave the viewers mesmerized for a long time. Neha Dhupia plays a cameo as Anjali and it was a delight to see her onscreen after a long time. Isha Shravani plays the second cameo in the movie and is sweet and charming as her 'Luck By Chance' days.

Directed by Tanuja Chandra and scripted by her mother, Kamna Chandra, this mother-daughter duo do a fantastic job behind the camera and on the paper. Tanuja Chandra's film has a fresh take on love as well as the screenplay and the camera work is outstanding. It was fresh to see those close-ups which were once famous. The music by Tanishq Bagchi is nice. 'Jaane De' and 'Kahani Khatam' are beautifully written and sung. Overall, technical aspects are great.

The movie's bad points are just a little 'yawn' moments in the second half and that's it! Had there been some more weight in the story, QQS would've been the BEST Movie of 2017 because the technical aspects were perfect and there was barely any 'major' fault in the movie. But still easily qualifies as one of the best. I rate the movie 4 stars!

P.S. QQS qualifies in the likes of 'Hindi Medium' and DARE NOT miss it!

Qissa Controversy Ka: SSR and Nepotism!

14th June 2020. Bandra West, Mumbai. It has been 12 days since Sushant Singh Rajput has left the world. We accept it or not but, his death has impacted us to a great extent more than any other death in the film fraternity. There are uncountable  rumours  regarding his death and it is really shameful that it took a Death to realize the roots of Nepotism and Favourites that run in this industry! In the blog post, I would just like to share some radical views about the statements and the controversies that evolved  after his death.                                JUDGEMENTALITY:  Probably after the Nepotism debate, the most talked-about reason for his suicide is the Rhea Chakraborty And Mahesh Bhatt angle. Just because intimate pictures between Mahesh and Rhea have started doing rounds on the internet, the public has come to the conclusion (let alone an assumption) that there is something brewing between the two. Well, it is very obvious that the partner/spouse is suspected in that case

Sushant Singh Rajput: An Inspiration and a Legend!

It has been 42 days since Sushant Singh Rajput left for his heavenly abode on the 14th of June, 2020. In this write-up, The Bollywood Elephant pays a heartfelt tribute to the late Sushant Singh Rajput. May he find semblance in his mother's arms up there. Sushant carved your own niche in the galaxy far away yet near. We hope that we could bring him back using quantum physics by igniting chemistry. His dreams and passion are embedded in our hearts and become an immortal source of motivation. His death makes me realize the uncertainty and fear of life. His uncertain exit from our galaxy was unsettling but opened a chapter about life consumed by depression. I recall how he always wanted to be an astronaut and in one of his interviews, he said, "Let's be an actor and let's be everything" with the same energy and gusto as a naive and a simple guy with Bollywood dreams! Thereafter, he unravelled his dreams through cinema and stuck to what he believed! When I first read a

Kalank Review: After Kalank, you will need a 'Palang' because 'Tabaah Ho Gaye'!

After so many delays, Dharma Productions magnum opus 'Kalank'  starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Kunal Kemmu, Kiara Advani, Anchint Kaur etc. etc. It is scripted and directed by a 1-filmed old director Abhishek Varman.                                           What's Good:   Acting:  Credit is given where it is due. Acting performances are top notch. Aditya and Sonakshi are hands down the best! They are ably supported by the rest of the ensemble cast but these rightfully deserve every accolade. Costume and Set Design:  The costume and set design are absolutely spectacular and Bhansali level. Costumes are well depicted by Manish Malhotra. Music:  Surprisingly, Pritam's music is one of the better things of this magnum opus.                                          What's Bad:  Story:  The story has so many interesting sub-plots which are let down because the main/central plot on which the
